TBT: San Francisco, part 2

Today's throw back Thursday (TBT) is from our 2009 trip to San Francisco. We had so much fun exploring the wonderful San Francisco area! I was pregnant with Isaac at the time, and so excited! Here are a few more of our favorite photos from our site seeing adventure in SanFran.


Ferry Plaza Farmers Market on Market Street on the Embarcadero. That sandwich may look like we were eating swamp grass, but it was sooo good! It was not food from Shrek's kitchen either . . .it was scrumptious chickpea curry medley wrapped in thick flat bread. We also tried the tofu salad, which was awesome, and some fresh juice specialty. Wow, we were eatin' good in the neighborhood! I want to go back there just for the food! We also got the best brownie I ever tasted at the Scharffen Berger Chocolate vendor. I didn't get a picture of it . . . sorry, but trust me it looked like an ordinary brownie but tasted extraordinary and absolutely amazing!  

Breakfast at the Marriott in downtown SanFran! It was so yummy and we really enjoyed that view! 

View from our room in the Marriott of downtown SanFran. Lovely!

We stayed in The Palace, a historic hotel built 1875. It was so gorgeous!

San Francisco neighborhood. Those row houses are very unique!
 It was so interesting to see how different each one looked. 

Views of Lombard street in the distance (left), and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Tractor Tugs in the canal near the Embarcadero. They were huge!

Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California. We were really blessed to see the bridge without clouds covering parts of it. It was a crystal clear day with great visibility which is pretty unusual for this area. 


Me and the bridge! I loved that shirt, it was one of the first maternity shirts
I bought when I was pregnant with Isaac. 

Shadows and light. I took this photo as we were walking in a park near the Golden Gate Bridge. We also saw dolphins in this cove, more over to the left, which was really cool. They were jumping completely out of the water, doing flips outside of the water, and seemed to be playing together. 

Malibu Yellow Poker Plant we saw at the San Francisco Botanical Garden.

Hilly neighborhood in San Francisco.

A very beautiful wall of boganvilla.

Jason and I at the bottom of Lombard Street. We also drove down it at
one point during our visit to San Francisco.
